As a member of the Chapter of Management Schools within the Conference of Grande Écoles, ICN is one of the oldest business schools in France.

It was created by the University of Nancy and the Meurthe-et-Moselle Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In 2003, the Nancy Commercial Institute became ICN Business School, a state-approved private higher education institution that is partnered with the University of Lorraine.

In 1999, ICN Business School founded the Artem Alliance with the Nancy School of Art and Design and Mines Nancy. This innovative alliance promotes the mixing of academic disciplines and learning, coupled with creativity and innovation, to train the next generation of decision-makers and creators.

ICN holds accreditation from EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB, and its Master’s in Management has been recognised as one of the best in the world by the Financial Times.

By offering an innovative, cross-disciplinary education, ICN Business School’s mission is to prepare students to become responsible professionals who possess the necessary skills to work in a global business environment. ICN Business School is involved in creating knowledge at the frontiers of art, management and technology, as a means of contributing to the development of usable knowledge and sustainable practices in the field of organisational management.

At ICN Research is at the heart of our activities. Our research addresses some of the most important and challenging issues facing business and society, advances management practice, and forms the basis for impactful engagement with business leaders.
Research also benefits our students directly: it ensures that they receive the high-quality education they deserve, and equips them with the skills and competencies they need for a successful career in an increasingly complex world

Research at ICN is rooted in the transdisciplinary philosophy of ArtTechnologyManagement. It is inspired by the idea that borders have become territories to be explored. An integral part of ICN since 1999, at a time when research was still in its early stages at the school, ARTEM has shaped the policy of faculty recruitment, particularly with regard to research behaviors and approaches. While culture cannot be managed directly, it can be nourished and encouraged by a consistent recruitment policy that allows for the creation of an innovative and unique spirit;

The University of Lorraine’s research laboratories are a cornerstone of the School’s research eco-system. Through them ICN faculty can connect to larger scientific networks and extended resources to engage in innovative joint research and the dissemination and transfer of results. The scope of research reaches from regional projects to multinational cooperation and also includes joint PhD thesis supervision.
